GLORIFICATION of terrorism at a GAA club is a relic of a bygone age, the Sports Minister claimed yesterday.
The sporting association is to investigate August's hunger strike commemoration at Galbally, Co Tyrone.
Photos of people dressed in balaclavas carrying replica weapons were placed on the internet although Sinn Fein disputes whether they were connected to the club.
DUP Minister Nelson McCausland used the Assembly to call for a debate about the practices of some of the organisation's constituent members.
He said: "Many of these are no doubt products of a bygone age.
"They have no place, in my view, in a modern 21st century sports body or in a shared and better future."
